DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0041] The present invention is a portable carrying case having variousdetachable, replaceable inserts, and a portable project bag kit.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, carrying case 100 has two main panels 14 and16, in which panel 14 can be folded into parallel relationship withpanel 16. Flap 12 is used to close the case 100 using hook-fastenerstrip 20 that attaches to a corresponding loop-fastener strip on theoutside of panel 14. Two spines are used to form hinges 40, one spinebeing disposed between panel 14 and panel 16, and the other spine beingdisposed between panel 16 and flap 12. The inside surface of panel 14 ofthe case 100 is provided with a mesh material, e.g., netting 36, to holdelongated objects, such as knitting needles.

[0043] An alternative embodiment of the carrying case, designated as200, is shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the carrying case 200 isformed by panels 212 and 214 and is somewhat larger than that shown inFIG. 1, in order to hold larger objects, such as longer sewing needles.Panels 212 and 214 fold about a spine and are secured in a closedposition by zipper 50, which extends about three sides of the perimeterof case 200. Elongated multi-pocket insert 60 provides nine individualelongated pockets for holding long needles and is removably attached tohook-fastener strip 62. Multi-pocket inserts 42, 44, and 46 are likewiseattached to their corresponding hook-fastener strips using correspondingloop-fastener strips located along their edges. The embodiment of FIG. 2will be discussed in more detail later.

[0044] In the version shown in FIG. 1, the case 100 includes fourinserts: multi-pocket pouch inserts 22 and 24, single pocket insert 26,and single-ply insert 28. Single-ply insert 28 has a fleece backing forholding darning needles, pins, and other articles that may be hookedinto the fleece. All four inserts are removably attached to the insideof the case 100 using a loop-fastener strip that fastens to acorresponding hook-fastener strip inside the case. An external pocket orpouch 30 is attached to the case 100 using ribbons 32 and 34 that wraparound panel 16 of the case 100. The opening of the single pocket insert26 is closed using corresponding strips of hook-and-loop fastenermaterial. The two ribbon loops 38 are used to grip and thereby open theinsert 26 to place small objects inside.

[0045]FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C show a view of the interior of thethree-panel case 100 with only the external pouch 30 attached (noinserts attached) as seen with the case 100 unfolded, a front view ofthe external pouch 30 detached from the case 100, and a perspective viewof the single-pocket insert pouch 26, respectively.

[0046] In FIG. 3A, three hook-fastener strips, 92, 94, and 96, are usedfor fastening the various inserts in place. An additional hook-fastenerstrip 20 is used to close the flap 12 by attaching to a correspondingloop-fastener strip (not shown) on the outside of panel 14 along itsfree edge.

[0047] The external pouch 30, shown in FIG. 3B, is mounted onto the backof panel 16 of the case 100 by ribbons 32 and 34. The external pouch 30contains a pocket that is closed using paired strips of hook-and-loopfastener material lining the sides of its opening. Grip ribbons 98permit the user to open the external pouch 30 to place objects inside.

[0048] The insert pouch 26 shown in FIG. 3C is similarly opened andclosed using paired strips of hook-and-loop fastener material 54 liningthe sides of its opening. Grip ribbons 38 are used to open the insertpouch 26. A strip of loop fastener material 52 is provided along thelower outside margin of the insert pouch 26 for attachment to acorresponding hook fastener material 96 inside the case 100.

[0049] The case 100 also provides for an inventive multi-pocket pouch 22that is constructed from a single sheet of textile material as shown inFIGS. 4A-4C. The multi-pocket pouch 22 is structured to be stitched in aparticular manner to obtain a staggered layering of pockets. Initially,the multi-pocket pouch 22 is an elongated sheet of fabric having a stripof loop-type fastener material 110 attached near a corner. The sheet isfirst folded longitudinally along fold-line 118 and stitched togetheralong the bottom and side edges of its perimeter 120 to form thestructure shown in FIG. 4B. The structure of FIG. 4B is then folded inalternative directions, with either a single row, or a very closelyparallel pair of rows, of stitches at 116 to define the bottom of thethree pockets, and two parallel, spaced apart pairs of rows of stitchesat 112 and 114, with the pair of rows at 114 being spaced apart widerthan the pair of rows at 112, in order to obtain the structure ofoverlapping pockets shown in plan view in FIG. 4C, in which the strip ofloop fastener material 110 ultimately appears on the outer surface ofedge 130 that protrudes the farthest, edges 132 being opposite fastenerstrip 110. Fastener strip 110 may be attached either to upper hookfastener strip 92, or to medial hook fastener strip 94, as desired, withthe pockets opening laterally. Removable pocket insert 24 is prepared inthe same manner as pocket insert 22.

[0050] Details of the second embodiment of the carrying case 200 areshown in FIGS. 5A-5B and 6A-6E. In this embodiment, the case 200includes permanently attached carrying handles 82 and 84 and fivehook-type fastener strips, e.g., 204 and 206, to which the inserts canbe detachably fastened. Insert pouches 42, 44, and 46, can be single ormulti-pocket pouches constructed in the same fashion as pocket inserts22 and 24, or single-layer two-sided sheets, each attached using acorresponding loop-type fastener strip. Panel 214 includes a permanentlyattached mesh layer 80 for attaching elongated objects.

[0051] Dual-pocket insert pouch 70 is also attached to the strip ofhook-type fastener material inside panel 214. Grip ribbons 72 and 74permit the user to open either end of the dual pocket insert to placeobjects inside. Pouch 70 is formed from a single piece of square fabricby folding the sheet in half and stitching the elongated edges togetherto form a sleeve. A strip of hook and loop fastening material isconnected to the sleeve by a double row of stitches 76 and 78 (seen inFIG. 2) extending transversely across the middle of the sleeve to definetwo pockets, which open in opposite directions. The strip of hook andloop fastening material on the sleeve is used to removably attach thedual-pocket insert pouch 70 to a mating strip of hook and loop fasteningmaterial on the inside surface of panel 214.

[0052] Finally, elongated multi-pocket pouch insert 60 is usable in thecarrying case of the second embodiment. The construction of this pouchinsert is shown in FIGS. 6A-6E. Layers 302, 304, 306, and 308 arestacked from top to bottom in size order with the shortest on top andlongest in the bottom, stitched together along three sides, and thenstitched together along the longitudinal stitch lines 310. The finalstructure is shown in FIG. 6E showing the tops of the pockets alongedges 320. Elongated objects such as knitting needles can be inserted inthese pockets. Also, a strip of material 330 including one side (on therear) having a loop-type fastening material is attached to bottom layer308 to permit the multi-pocket pouch 60 to be detachably fastened to thecenter strip of hook-type material 204, as shown in FIG. 5B. The rearsurface of layer 308 may have a fleece backing similar to that of singleply insert 28 for securing objects that may be hooked into the fleece.

[0053] The material used to form the cases 100 and 200 can be anyavailable textile material, such as cloth or drapery material. Also, thehook-type fastening strips and the corresponding loop-type fasteningstrips described above can be switched provided that all strips insidethe case for attaching the inserts are the same and all strips on thesurfaces of the inserts are the same and can be fastened to thecorresponding strips inside the case.

[0054] A portable project bag kit 400 is illustrated in FIGS. 7 through11. The portable project bag kit 400 includes a large project bag 410, asmall project bag 450, and a stand 460 (see FIG. 11) for supporting thelarge project bag 410. Both bags 410 and 450 can be used for the storageand carrying of craft items and accessories, such as knitting,needlepoint, sewing, jewelry, beading, quilting, embroidery, crocheting,and other artisan and craftsman projects. In addition, the bags 410 and450 can be used for the storage and carrying of fishing items, campingitems, household items, garage items, shop items, etc.

[0055] The large project bag 410 has an inside, an outside, and anopening. The large project bag 410 has a pair of carrying handles 412and 414 attached near the opening of the large project bag 410, a pairof tabs 416 attached near the opening of the first project bag 410, anda closure mechanism 420 sewn within a top edge of the first project bag410 near the opening of the first project bag 410. The closure mechanism420 is formed of a concave metal and is configured to make the firstproject bag 410 easy to open and close, and to securely hold contents ofthe first project bag 410 when the first project bag is turned upsidedown. The large bag 410 may also include male and female snaps 422 and424 placed at the outside, bottom corners of the bag 410, and beconfigured for snapping together. When the snaps 422 and 424 are snappedtogether, a base is formed for the bag 410 to sit upright, with orwithout the stand 460. This also allows the user to release the snaps422 and 424, providing additional storage or carrying space in the bag410, or for the user to fold the bag 410 flat when empty and not in use.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, a pouch 442 is sewn inside the largeproject bag 410 for the storage of small items or accessory pouches fromthe above described portable carrying cases. The pouch 442 is made ofmesh 444, allowing the user to weave or hook various tools into thepouch 442 for storage. At least one strip of hook-and-loop fasteningmaterial is attached to the inside of the large project bag 410. A meshlayer lining 430 is permanently attached to the inside of the largeproject bag 410 for removably retaining an elongated object. Insertpouches 446 can be single or multi-pocket pouches constructed in thesame fashion as pocket inserts 22 and 24 described above, orsingle-layer two-sided sheets, each attached to a correspondingloop-type fastener strip.

[0057] At least one strip of hook-and-loop fastening material 432,440 isattached to the mesh layer lining, and the mesh layer lining 430 isdisposed between the inside of the large project bag 410 and the atleast one strip 432,440.

[0058] The portable project bag kit 400 includes a small project bag 450with a closure mechanism 452 sewn within a top edge of the small projectbag 450 near the opening of the small project bag 450. The closuremechanism 452 of the small project bag 450 is formed of a concave metaland is configured to make the small project bag 450 easy to open andclose, and to securely hold contents of the small project bag 450 whenthe small project bag 450, is turned upside down. The closure mechanism420 of the large project bag 410 and the closure mechanism 452 of thesmall project bag 450 may each be formed of steel.

[0059] The portable project bag kit 400 also includes a stand 460 tosupport the large project bag 410 (see FIG. 11). The stand 460 includesa top piece 470 of rigid material with three apertures 472 and 474defined through the top piece 470, a bottom piece 462 of rigid materialwith one aperture 476 defined through the bottom piece 462, two poles482 configured to be removably placed in two of the three apertures 472on the top piece 470 of the stand 460, and a pivotal fastening device480 configured to pivotally attach the top piece 470 to the bottom piece462. The top piece 470 and bottom piece 462 are pivotally attached toeach other and configured to rotate outward to a ‘t’ shape, creating asturdy stand for the large project bag 410, and preventing the largeproject bag 410 from tipping over. The top and bottom pieces 470 and 462are each made of wood or similar durable material. The two poles 482 mayeach be made of fiberglass.

[0060] The two tabs 416 are configured to receive the two poles 482 ofthe stand 460, and to support the large project bag 410 on the two poles482. The poles 482 may be made from fiberglass or other durablematerial. The stand 460 enables the large bag 410 to supported therefromwith the top open so that a user can access items from the bag 410 inits open position. As descirbed above, the large bag 410 may includesnaps 422 and 424 placed at the outside, bottom corners of the bag 410,configured for snapping together. When the snaps 422 and 424 are snappedtogether, a base is formed for the bag 410 to sit upright, with orwithout the stand 460. This also allows the user to release the snaps422 and 424, providing additional storage or carrying space in the bag410, or for the user to fold the bag 410 flat when empty and not in use.

[0061] The small project bag 450 does not have a snap at the bottomcorners of the bag 450, nor does it have tabs. The small bag 450 is notconfigured to be placed on the stand 460. The small project bag 450 usesthe same type of light steel concave metal closure mechanism 452. Thesmall bag 450 can be used on its own or can be used to carry items andbe placed inside the large project bag 410.

[0062] The stand 460 is made from two pieces of wood or otherappropriate material 462 and 470. The two pieces of wood 462 and 470 areattached to each other in such a way that they rotate to stack on top ofeach other for convenient storage and/or carrying in the large projectbag 410. When rotated outward, they form a ‘t’ shape, creating a sturdystand for the large project bag. This ‘t’ shape prevents the largeproject bag 410 from tipping over. The top piece of wood 470 isrectangular shaped with a hole 472 drilled into the wood toward eachedge and a hole 474 drilled in the center. The holes 472 receive poles482 made of fiblerglass or the like, which can be attached to the largeproject bag 410. The hole 474 receives a fastening device 480 topivotally fasten the two pieces of wood 462 and 470 together. There aretwo smaller pieces of wood 476 integrally formed with and/or mountedunderneath the top piece of wood 470, at opposite ends, which give thetop piece of wood 470 height. This additional height allows the secondpiece of wood 462 to easily rotate underneath the top piece of wood 470(allowing the user to remove the poles 482 from the large project bag410 and the stand 460, rotate the base 462 of the stand 460 in to aclosed position, and place all parts of the stand 460 in the project bag410). The bottom piece of wood 462 (or other material) sits flush withthe floor or other surface but is curved on the edges. This curvatureallows the lower piece of wood 462 to rotate underneath the top piece ofwood 470, forming one rectangular block of wood which locks into place.

[0063] The large project bag 410 may have a snap at the bottom whichcreates a base that allows the bag 410 to stand alone and also providesa base for the bag 410 when it sits on the stand 460. The user canunsnap the snap for additional space in the bag 410 if they choose. Thelarge project bag 410 is also unique in the way it attaches to the stand460, allowing the user to keep the bag 410 open to work from if theychoose.

[0064] Both the large project bag 410 and the small project bag 450 usea concave, light steel type of metal for their closure mechanisms 420and 452. These closure mechanisms 420 and 452 are easy to open andclose, but hold the contents of the bags 410 and 450 securely in thebags 410 and 450 if they are turned upside down. Additionally, thisunique type of metal closure mechanism provides the ideal tension forknitters, crocheters, and other crafters who want to feed their yarn orthread through the closure with even tension.

[0065] The stand 460 is unique in the way it uses removable rods 482 tohold the bag 410 onto the stand 460, and in the way it rotates to formone compact, rectangular base. Both of these unique features make theproject bag kit 400 easily portable and easy to set up and use.
